Four ways to open Ask AI
Slash, Floating AI, selection sparkle, and the block side handle — same Authoring family, different entry points.
Ask AI is the family of authoring actions on a Document page. It is not Orient Guide · Refer in the right rail, and it is not a Consultation credit rung. Leave Accept or Reject after a run when the canvas shows a proposal.
